《Monsters & Meteors》Ep 3, Chapter 2: Lex & Sam
Advertisement
Dear Lex,
I heard you were going to Princeton to study biochemical engineering. Congratulations! That's really exciting. I'm just finishing up my freshman year of high school, but I'm starting to look into colleges. I'm considering going into law.
Right now, I'm taking a college-level course in biochemistry to try to earn credits (we're on the road a lot), and it has me thinking about those werewolves we saw back in Smallville. Now that I'm learning about how mutations occur, I don't think I understand what happened with the werewolves or how it could be possible. How could a rock affect someone's genetic makeup?
Hope things are going well for you. I'm sending this letter from my school. Can you send the reply back to my school, too? I told my English teacher I was writing to a Princeton student, and we worked out a deal so I can get the letters. Otherwise, my dad would read them. The address on the envelope should be good for a few weeks—I'll write again when we move on.
Sincerely,
Sam Winchester

Dear Sam,
It's good to hear from you. Thinking about going into law, huh? Have you considered Harvard? I have some connections, I might be able to pull some strings for you.
I'm looking forward to starting school, and I'm applying for research programs. As soon as I get lab access, I'm going to swing by Smallville and pick up some meteor rock samples. There are a few tests I'm considering—I'd like to see if the glowing effect we sometimes see is caused by some kind of bioluminescence. Organic materials in the rocks would make a lot of sense, and the implications would be revolutionary. It would mean some kind of alien life arrived with the meteor shower. The other possibility is that the meteor rocks have some kind of radioactive materials, which can alter DNA (though generally not in a good way).

I've got to be honest, though: from a biological standpoint, I don't understand how werewolves exist in the first place, let alone Djinn or anything else you guys hunt.
Wish I could answer your questions better. I'd like to pick up a geology or mineralogy minor, and I'd love to spend more time doing personal research. but my old man's giving me less than three years to graduate. As soon as I hit 21, I have to take a role at Luthor Corp, and if I don't have my degree by then, the only way I'm getting it is by running away from him and paying my own way—which will be pretty tough considering he'll have cut me off.
Stay safe out there,
Lex

Dear Lex,
Thanks for the offer about Harvard, but I'd like to earn my way into college. I'm thinking about Stanford. I like the weather in California.
Alien life in the meteor rocks? Sounds kind of science fiction to me, but I'll be curious to see what you find.
Wow, graduating from Princeton in under three years! Good luck. Do you think you can do it? I hear it's sometimes hard to get the classes you need. Sorry your dad is being such a hard ass. I know what that's like.
Sincerely,
Sam

Dear Sam,
Sorry it's been so long since I've written. I'm having to take 26 units this semester to stay on track to graduate by my father's deadline. I can make it, though—the scheduling office is surprisingly easy to bribe.
I wanted to send you an update about the question you asked last spring. I managed to get some meteor rock samples run at the bioengineering lab at Princeton. Sorry to disappoint, but there's no alien life in it. Nothing organic at all, actually. It has some radioactive properties, but it's not radiation like anyone at the lab had seen, and some of the elements didn't match as anything the mass spectrometers or electron microscopes had ever seen. The grad students and post docs thought I was playing some kind of joke on them.

I wish I could look into this further, but for now, I need to focus on getting through my classes. They're pretty easy, but some of them have sadistically long problem sets and projects. Working at LuthorCorp should be easier; I'll pick back up the project then, and I'll keep you in the loop.
Sorry to disappoint,
Lex

Adventures of one dude with an afro
...East-Blue, West-Blue, South-Blue, and North-Blue are the four seas that constitute most of the whole planet. Humanity is thriving on the small patches of land which poke out of the four seas. These four seas are separated horizontally by a humongous mountain which encircles the whole planet, called Red Line, and vertically by, the most dangerous sea known to man, Grand-Line. Both sides of Grand-Line are flanked by strips of the windless sea called Calm Belt. The eternally windless strips of sea are impossible to cross with only wind-powered ships. It might be calm over the water, but the water hides nasty beings called sea kings, not to be disturbed as the name suggests. People in this world can train themselves past any and all physical limits, only their mentality is the problem. A strong mind makes the body strong. Everyone in this world possesses this almost magical power in them called haki. There are three types of haki, two available to everyone and the last one is seen only once in seven million people. Different haki can be used to strengthen the body to even affect logia users, to predict and to foresee attacks, sense others’ prowess and even exert your will upon others. Fruits of the sea devil. Otherwise know as devil fruits, give miraculous powers to those who eat them, but robs them of their power to swim and makes them vulnerable to anything from normal seawater to the crystallized power of the sea, sea stone. Devil fruit powers are categorized into three different categories: Zoan type fruits allow their users to transform into an animal of a sort and gain their abilities. There are also human and mythical type zoans so they should actually be called transformation powers but those ones are extremely rare to the point of none existent that most just associate zoan transformations into animals. Logia fruits make their eaters become the element that the fruit was. For example, the one who eats the fire logia fruit is able to use fire in their attacks, become fire to avoid physical attacks and much else. Last but not least are the Paramecia fruits, these fruits are undoubtedly the weirdest and most random of the bunch. There are some that let you attract metal, make you slim and slippery, make your body able to split your body into many pieces, makes your body rubber, lets you control vibrations, light, pressure almost anything you can imagine. Lastly, there are two opposing factions in this world. The marines and the pirates, most strong people are part of either one. Both have their ups and downs. Pirates are free people who do whatever they want. Good or Bad. Marines are the upholders of justice in this world yet no justice system is without corruption. I closed the introductory book while frowning. "Isn't this a summary to the one piece world...?" The cover isn't mine and I am willing to take it down.

The Rowan Fox, Tail 1: The Missing Children
Deep in the Maple Woods sits a mountain of old. Humans have claimed it and today a city called Redlog covers it from peak to foot. Meet Josei, one of many medicine makers living in the city of red roofs. Hers is the start of many tales, home to a very special fox. Like foxes often do, this one finds himself plenty of trouble. (Thought I would be gone forever did you? I'm back again! This time with a book that actually has an ending. I know because I've written it. I will be editing each chapter then releasing it here as they're done, probably once or twice a week. It's a shorter tale than what I've written before but that was the goal from the start. I really need to learn how to finish a story so this was a big accomplishment for me. I'll be writing The Rowan Fox in several parts instead, short but hopefully sweet.) (This story is a combination of some of my favorite things: folktales, foxes, ancient forests, and feel good slice of life. I hope you like it!)
